  What answers did you give to the questions posed after running:

webmail-install

??

In that script it asks you where do you want to install it (if I'm not 
mistaken - haven't done one for awhile), I usually installed it into 
/var/www/horde. Then using Apache I would add a new configuration file 
to /etc/apache2/conf.d/horde.conf and in there put the following stuff:

################## horde.conf ######################

Alias /autodiscover/autodiscover.xml /var/www/horde/rpc.php
Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /var/www/horde/rpc.php

Alias /Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml /var/www/horde/rpc.php
Alias /AutoDiscover/AutoDiscover.xml /var/www/horde/rpc.php

Alias /horde /var/www/horde
Alias /webmail /var/www/horde

<Directory /var/www/horde>
            Options +FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride None
            order allow,deny
            allow from all
            AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
            php_value include_path ".:/usr/share/php"
            php_value open_basedir "none"
            php_value upload_tmp_dir "/var/www/horde/phptmp/"
</Directory>

###################################################

Don't quote me on this horde.conf file, it pretty much works for me but 
I'm sure there are many many alternatives out there.

Hope this helps some
